If anyone is interested, I used Block List Converter to merge Meuh6879's ipfilter.dat with the latest Blocklist from PeerGuardian. If you want to give it a try, its Here, zipped. From E-mule.. "2969 IP-filters loaded".

ENGLISH : (Traslator)
The list of PeerGuardian include some ip's and ranks that I am not in favor to filter. Among them they are ip's of Symantec, Mcafee.Com, Hewlett Packard (in last update there are many), and others............
In addition they include some too ample filtrate ranks.........
I am of the opinion no that there is to obsess itself with this, and is necessary to have much taken care of with filtering too many ip's, that sufficiently are not verified, because it can originate a result more negative than positive.
Anyway, each one is free to do what considers opportune.

Wouldn't it be easier for most if you updated the IPFilter that emuleitor is hosting and then let everybody that is using IPFilter autoupdate update from there? That would mean less volume for your host and more convenience for those who use that feature.

Just a proposal.

There are no dupes, filtered out with Blocklist Converter.

Be carefull, the IPFilter.dat from Espana is already implement the IPs from PeerGuardian...

The members (from Espana) check the IPs, that why, you don't have the entery list of PeerGuardian...but you have many others lists like:

ENGLISH : (Traslator)
An error in one of the lines of ipfilter has been discovered. He is the following one:
199.181.132.088 - 191.181.132.139, 100, I.P.(19/11/03): The disney channel
To replace by:
199.181.132.088 - 199.181.132.139, 100, I.P.(19/11/03): The Disney channel
In the Web already is modified. Sorry.

@Mc4TuTi
I got the same error about the Disney addresses. The script that runs on the Ip converter does not like that Ip for some reason. I removed it from the list and it works ok, then put it back in later.

@Meuh6879 "Be carefull, the IPFilter.dat from Espana is already implement the IPs from PeerGuardian..." or the other way around?
I realize this, as I said in my post, doubles are filtered, using the overlap ranges function of the converter. There are no doubles in the file. Merged your file with the one from PeerGuardian.net, as Methlabs site is down at the moment.

@Andu
Great idea, but.. someone has to take the initiative to update the file and host it, and E-mule needs an auto update feature. A mod I was using some time back had this feature, but as I moved to a newer mod, the option to do this dissappeared. That zip file is actually on my personal web site space, may not be there to much longer, Isp may get pissed if bandwidth gets outa hand..

@Shareoholik
I see the converter doesn't do Norton, may be a mute point, as I read somewhere that many firewalls will puke when you throw a list that large at it, I know Kerio v2.xx will. More info on the Converter and Firewall compatability here. More info on firewalls and Ipfilters in general, a must read, specially for newbies here. May have to sign up to see much at the PeerGuardian forums, its quick and painless.

Like the fakes.dat on emuleitor, that wasn't updated since months and meanwhile it's sooooooo incredible old?

But you could do it like emuleitor did (or do? ): Add an ipfilter.txt with a short version number in it to the server. So eMule could update it automatically (look for the Morph sources due to the code...)

I could, it is enough to provide IPfilter.dat and IPFilter.txt with a number of revision... it is very simple...
However, it is not me which created this standard... I prefer people who manually follow the updates...

Heck yeah, thats a good idea.

Ok here is another. One main constantly updated ipfilter.dat source that would be mirrored to several webmirrors. Users could have thier client autoupdate from one of those mirrors.

Ok sense there would be a list of mirrors, there also need to be a way to verify good working mirrors and get rid of non working or invalid ones. So this means that when an emule client autoupdates the ipfilter.dat, if it finds an invalid host it would remove it from the list of known mirrors and try the next one, and keep trying until it finds a valid working mirror.

I'd also like to see something simular be done with fakes.dat

Does any of what I am saying make sense?

Ed2k, emule and bittorrent are dying and under attack. Which 3rd generation client and network will you upgrade to?

I have a working script for Norton Internet Security 2003, but right now I'm not at the pc I have Norton on it, so ...I'm going to post the script (for the freeware Remotekeys) here in some days. It takes very long, but you can fill in the ranges into a new global rule. (about 30min for 800 entries). But you don't have to type everything manually.
If you want to experiment with Remotekeys http://www.freewareh.../RemoteKeys.htm
I tried other ways, but the only way I was successful to control Norton was this tool.

Sorry, but I have had problems with router and the card of network of the PC , and until of the next week I will not be able to update ipfilter in the iespana Web.
The next update is very important. I will inform to you in this forum.
